Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (about 113 g)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (about 180 g)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- Optional add-ins: 1/2–3/4 cup chopped walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking pan.

- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

- Allow to cool in the pan before slicing into bars and serving.
Notes
For fudgier centers, aim for the shorter bake time. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
